hoondetoshi nakiata
even as we have been going through our very different lives for the past 3 years, this brother has remained close to my heart and we still found time together.
i first knew hoon relatively well in sec1. we were classmates and had many things in common. we played com games, soccer, and hung out in the same clique.
in the 2nd or 3rd week of school i could remember a lunch at kfc where i told the malta guy joke to him nala and yuwei, and we all laughed so hard we couldnt eat properly.
in sec1 we didnt do much together, but in sec2 hoon moved over to my neighbourhood. he had some problems at that time so i spent alot of time with him. we played soccer in school, watched movies and played punk, and he spent alot of time at my place on afternoons and evenings. i would play computer and he would just read, or we would reverse roles time to time, and i feel now that just being together with each other was enough. there was no need to tell jokes or to speak. maybe he just needed companionship at that time. (tell me if im wrong)
and we supported the same teams (chelsea and roma) so we never argued on the footballing side. we almost always played in the same team, and played the same computer games. we ate mos burger together, and at time other foods. through all this we developed a closeness that comes from doing things together.
and in sec3 we were even closer. doing all the things we did before. in sec3 and sec4 he often stayed over at my place to study, and watch football. almost all we did was watch football. and gab would get instant mee or drinks when it was late into the night.
once me, nala n gab went to hoon's house for one of the funnest days ever. we went at about 1 or 2 and started playing squash. we played for about 3 hours then went to swim. after fooling around in the pool for another 3 hours we went up to his house and washed up, and his mum cooked a very nice dinner for us. i won't forget that day, as much as i wont forget this other day.
we had ora in school and we were playing soccer. and while fooling around i poured a cup of juice onto hoon's hair. then i ran off. much later he came up to me and told me he wanted to whack me very much earlier on but he had to control himself. i didnt know why it affected him so much back then, because i was a joker and jokes were common to me, but then again i didnt know the meaning of going too far. now i thank him for not whacking me, as he's quite a strong boy. wonder what would happen to me or my family jewels if he had his wish. haha.
it was very joyful back in those days of innocence then we went separate ways in jc. but with the fusing of 2 soccer teams, it brought back our tricky left back. hoon is a monster in heading, and he has many tricks (but doesnt show them on the pitch, only the astroturd) and dirty tactics (ball grabbing). we have collaborated many times, and when i've lost my cool countless times on the pitch i have shouted at him, i would like to say sorry, hoon. (and to weian too haha, but not to gabriel who is lazy and arrogant, and keeps falling down).
even though i saw little of him in jc, sometimes he still came, and stayed over, and i could enjoy his intelligent wit and cunning puns. and our common hatred for the arsen.. whichever one. and i still eat with him sometimes, though we missed soccer the last time duty to guard duty.
we are very different now, doing different things, living different lives, but hoon is a living example of friendship existing and thriving despite lack of time and opportunities to meet. he's someone with such a slippery tongue, quick mind, great library of football tricks, infectious laughter and knower of so many jokes, and such a good friend, that i never, ever, want to lose him, except to death.
